Mega Heist (Relax Gaming) – Review & Demo Play

Mega Heist: Slot Overview

In Mega Heist, I'm cast as a jailbird plotting a break and pushing on to a petrol station, a club, then the bank if things go to plan. The base action sits on a 5x4 grid with 178 connecting ways, paying left to right on adjacent reels, same row or a row up or down. The look is a top-down prison yard with a cartoon touch. Stakes run from 10 p/c up to €50 a spin, and the sunglasses W works as the wild.

Relax rates the variance at 5 out of 5, so I expect swings. The standard RTP sits at 96.19 percent in regular play, nudging to 96.5 percent when I buy the feature. The connected ways system keeps base spins brisk and can feel livelier than flat paylines, though eyeballing wins is a bit fiddlier. It sets the stage for the escape antics, which is where the slot leans into its theme and where most of my better returns have landed.

How to Play Mega Heist Slot

I hit the big play button on the right to spin the 5x4 grid, or set automated spins if I want the game to run itself. The coin icon lets me pick a stake from €0.10 up to €50, while the fast-forward toggle speeds through outcomes. The triple line takes me to the paytable and settings. To get wins, I need matches from the left on adjacent reels using connected ways. Two bonus symbols start a riot, three or more push me into the main mission.

Symbols and Payouts in Mega Heist

There are thirteen icons in total, with eleven regulars doing the paying. The four card suits are the lows, then come Soap, Dice and Handcuffs as mids. Premiums are three Prisoners and a Guard. With five of a kind, suits return 2x the bet, mids pay 3x, and premiums climb from 6x to 20x. Wins follow the connected ways rule, so adjacent reels and the same row, or one up or down, keep combinations flowing.

The sunglasses W symbol is wild and substitutes for all pay symbols on the board. Police Lights act as the bonus symbol and do not pay directly in line hits. On this setup, patterns that include the wild or bonus do their work by helping form combinations or by setting up the features, rather than awarding a standalone amount. Once I got used to reading the paths, the system felt intuitive enough.

Mega Heist Bonus Features

Landing two bonus symbols kicks off a prison riot, and up to four robbers attempt to escape. They march left to right carrying a bet multiplier or a bonus symbol, banking their prize if they reach the Safe Zone on the far reel. Policemen can pop in and catch them, which loses that prize. If one or more robbers carrying a bonus symbol make it through, the Mega Heist triggers, and up to three extra bonus symbols can be added.

Hit three, four or five bonus symbols in the base and you start the Mega Heist with 10, 15 or 30 robbers. The mission has three levels with rising caps, from the gas station at 150x to the club at 1,500x and the bank at 15,000x the bet. Robbers recycle back into the pool after banking. Picking multipliers decreases the bank counter, and when it hits zero you move up a level. The feature ends when no robbers remain on the grid or in the pool.

Power-ups keep things lively. Multipliers of x2, x3, x5 or x10 fatten a robber's haul. Extra manpower arrives as 1, 2, 3 or 5 new robbers added to the pool. Disguises stop police catching them, and there are rounds where police do not appear at all. Movement helpers include a motorbike that whisks up to two straight to the Safe Zone, and a bus that ferries up to eight. There is also a Bonus Buy, priced at 150x, which starts the Mega Heist with 10, 15 or 30 robbers.

RTP & Volatility in Mega Heist

I've found the numbers fair for a high-risk caper. The default RTP is 96.19 percent on standard play, moving to 96.5 percent when the feature is bought. Volatility is rated 5 out of 5, so sessions can swing. The headline level caps are 150x, 1,500x and 15,000x per stage, while the overall maximum clocks in at 16,491x the bet. With 178 connected ways at work, the game can hot up quickly once the escape mechanics are in motion.

Mega Heist: Slot Verdict

Mega Heist blurs the line between a straight slot and a little video-game-style push. Without the features, it behaves like a regular spinner using the connected ways system, which can be more exciting than fixed lines but a tad fiddlier to read. The real hook is busting out and marching those robbers through the Robber Zone into the Safe Zone. I've had runs that were entertaining, annoying, rewarding, and everything between. The gas station is manageable, reaching the bank takes graft.

For me, the litmus test is how you feel about the marching robber bonus. If the idea looks sweet, Mega Heist is an entertaining curiosity with loot up to 16,491x on the cards. If not, you may be happier sticking with something more orthodox. I like the tension as the pool runs thin, the small victories as power-ups chain, and the spikes when the counter drops to zero. It hits a fun groove when it all lines up.
